Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an on Friday in the Microphone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent by the listener: Ahmad Musbah Ahmad, from Dakahlia, in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Our brother says: I am a resident of al-Hajayja village in Dakahlia Governorate, Arab Republic of Egypt. He says: In most mosques on Friday, there is a reciter of the Qur'an who recites the Qur'an loudly in the microphone, and the worshippers listen to him for about half an hour. And when he finishes reciting a verse of the Qur'an, they glorify Allah, and their voices rise. Knowing that most of the worshippers are illiterate, I request from your eminence to inform me of the validity of reciting the Qur'an on Friday in this manner, or whether this has entered upon us through the door of religious innovation? Is it disliked? And does Friday have two calls to prayer? Or one call to prayer? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the followers are limited in number, and they are satisfied with it; that a reciter recites so that they listen and benefit, because they do not recite; then there is no blame on them. But they should not have this chaos and talking after that, rather they listen and pay attention. And if a verse passes that contains glorification, or supplication, and they supplicate; there is nothing wrong with that. As for this noise that they do after that, this is not befitting for them.
As for if their number is not fixed, and not all of them are in agreement; then this is not befitting, because this occupies them, and prevents the others from reciting. So it is better that each one recites for himself, benefits, recites for himself, and listens to those around him, and does not disturb them with the amplifier.
As for if they are limited, illiterate and limited, and they love to hear a reciter from among them; until the preacher arrives, then there is no blame on them. His second question.
